To my friends

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reasonBringing something we must learnAnd we are led to those who help us most to grow, if we let themAnd we help them in returnWell, I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today because I knew youLike a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sunLike a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the woodWho can say if I've been changed for the better?But because I knew you, I have been changed for good

It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetimeSo let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from youYou'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart and now whatever way our stories end, I know you have re-written mine by being my friend

Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the seaLike a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant woodWho can say if I've been changed for the better?But because I knew you I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me forBut then, I guess we know there's blame to share and none of it seems to matter anymore

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?I do believe I have been changed for the better?Because I knew you, I have been changed for good
